Base

Method

Prepare the Base

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a large pot, combine 2 cups of rice, 4 cups of water, and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

    Grill the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
